Another Tax!💰

This city’s traffic will always be in shambles! Nothing can improve it.

One of the reasons as stated is to increase the use of public transport. But what public transport? There are no metros in the areas they mentioned. Buses are almost always crowded and also do not have any direct links, so a few people may have to change two or three buses.

A majority of the people would then either choose an Uber/Ola or just pay the congestion tax, whichever’s lesser. If it’s the former, wouldn’t this mean owners of two wheelers switching to a three/four wheeler which in turn would lead to more congestion?

They have compared Bangalore to cities like Stockholm, London, and Singapore which have better public transportation.

If they really wanted to save the environment, cycling would be a great option, but in flooded and terrible roads?

They recently made public transportation free for women which didn’t sit well with the unions. Is this to make up for that loss?

I’m genuinely curious to know the logic here. Can anyone please help?

Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't know where it's going. I just hope to find it somewhere along the way.

@Gonedalf That self realisation is the perfect metaphor for Bangalore traffic.

Govt should take 28% gst + cess extra on office rent payments, Companies will vacate buildings and make WFH traffic solved 🤣

If the companies vacate then all these landlords RMZ, Bagmane, Salarpuria have empty dead weight sitting. Don't you think they are paying politicians as well so that never happens?

These illiterate people have absolutely no idea how to manage the traffic. This is incompetence at its peak! Banning private services and introducing new taxes every now and then is becoming a new norm. Worst is no one seems to be taking it seriously.

Folks of bangalore, you deserve way better than this!

leaving Bangalore is the only option. Am going back to my village an setting up some shop. Buy a acre of land and classify myself a farmer. Government will take care of me. Cost of living is low, better quality of life. Infact if you can afford, you get premium quality life style products too. Cities can go to hell.

Why do Indians hate India?

Whenever I read foreign media outlets, India is the new Asian Tiger that will outpace most emerging economies in growth. But Indian media and Indian people act like India is the worst place to be.

The dichotomy is extremely confusing....
